My own Reason for Buying ME:A and My journey through ME Trilogy.

To understand my own reason I'll be buying Mass effect Andromeda and maybe convince a few people to do the same we need to start at the beginning.

I remember reading about masseffect from a magazine but completely forgot about it later cause the game itself wasn't out yet. It wasn't until a look around Walmart that I noticed a familiar title in the game case. I couldn't remember where but when I got home I took a look online and then it hit me 'how could I forget this game looked awesome and I wanted to play it' heading back downtown almost right away I bought the game and started to play. (was about 2 weeks after its launch date).

I loved the game, when I was on the same planet as virgil I couldn't help but keep playing until the end, I just couldn't put it down until it was 4:00am when I beat the game.

I waited forever like many others for the second game and was excited to play, the dlc shadow broker was awesome and like many others I ended up with at least one party member killed until I loaded an older save and choose the guy with the armor to close the door (always trust garrus).

That ending was insane to see just how many reapers there truly were, we heard about it sure but seeing it really pushed it home with what we were facing a horde of insanely hard to kill supersized starships who have never been stopped before.

When the last game came out I was happy to see what would come of us, our choices and the galaxy as a whole.

From start to near finish I loved seeing just how things were changing, the reapers were everywhere and we were trying to find a way to kill them and slow them down at every possible point.

It was like many others that when the ending came around I started to feel a crushing blow.

At the start it seemed odd that you didn't see geth, quarian or rachni fighting the final fight on earth. even baring the CGI part of the ship to ship fights I could let that pass, Normandy was the star after all.

But I thought it was a waste that you didn't get to see them fight on the ground even for a few short clips, a horde of rachni swarming over the infected, a geth juggernaught hotdropping from a ship behind the quarians and giving them covering fire.

I thought it was a waste of a opportunity to show them but things get cut or just don't have enough time I understood that.

But when all was said and done after getting to the end of the game and doing it 2 more times just to be sure I didn't miss anything I was just plain dumfounded.

The ending was full of massive plot holes and the endings didn't make any difference what so ever, some said people were upset about the lack of a happy ending it was actually a lack of a coherent ending.

The extended edition did make things better to be sure but because it wasn't there the damage had been done and with SWTOR having issues as well I wasn't sure what to think about the game or bioware anymore.

The citadel dlc helped a little but more, something I would put on par with the shadowbroker dlc an I loved how the characters acting around you during the party (loved grunt being the door man)

However it wasn't until Dragonage inquisition that my faith started to mend a bit.

I liked the game overall and seemed like bioware knew that it was important for this game to succeed cause they did it well. the jaws of hakkor I found lack luster compared to the others but the rest was thoroughly enjoyable.

Large in part because I enjoyed the game that I decided to get ME:A

But that wasn't all, Bioware seemed to be putting careful concideration into this game as well. Not only are the characters we have numerous not just by companions but also by general crew members (salarian pilot anyone:) and to be honest a female turian squad mate is a plus for me (and for a lot of people I bet)
Now for a quick moment to talk about the elephant in the room, to be honest if Manveer was anywhere near the story making part I likely wouldn't have touched this game until weeks after because simply put I don't like the person, how he acts and I've seen to much politically correct junk around in games recently and they just plain ruin games, I wasn't like some others calling for his job just I was just weary until I learned what his role was in the game itself and then I let it go.

I sincerely hope that Bioware make a completely successful game from beginning to end with the whole trilogy and remembers not only the mistakes but success in the past to make future great games.
Now if only amazon Canada would ship my deluxe edition on time estimated delivery is exactly a week later then the release date, anyone know why that would be.

See you on the ground Pathfinders *Pulls open a door you didn't notice was there and jumps out*
